RobertHOST
It's a play on the classic A Song of Ice and Fire theme of love battling with duty.
RobertHOST
He tells his Kingsguard he is minded to renounce his inheritance, steer clear of prophecy and just stay there in his tower or bubble of joy with the woman he loves.
RobertHOST
Liana, meanwhile, has heard about the horrific deaths of her brother and father at Eris's hands and supports Robert and Ned's rebellion.
RobertHOST
She thinks they are serving a just cause.
RobertHOST
They just want to head over to the Tower of Joy and wait for the whole thing to blow over.
RobertHOST
That position changes as Liana gets more into prophecy, as she searches for a meaning for all that has happened.
RobertHOST
Elia writes to Lyanna, entreating her to encourage Rhaegar to join the war, and Geralt Hightower, the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, arrives on the orders of Aerys to summon him to lead the army.
RobertHOST
Geralt stays and is there when Ned arrives later, because Rhaegar makes him staying a condition of Rhaegar going to King's Landing.
speaker_0HOST

speaker_0HOST

speaker_0HOST
The former queen's face twists in fury.
Cersei LannisterVOICE_ACTOR
Release him.
Cersei LannisterVOICE_ACTOR
He is one of the Kingsguard.
speaker_0HOST
The Kingsguard are sworn to protect the king, not to assault his Hand in the streets.
ElianaHOST
We're so back.
ElianaHOST
In the chilly white raiment of the Kingsguard, Sir Mandan Moore looked like a corpse in a shroud.
ElianaHOST
Her grace left orders.
ElianaHOST
The council in session is not to be disturbed.
ChloeHOST
There is his seal.
ElianaHOST
Her grace does not wish to be disturbed, Sir Mandan repeated slowly, as if Tyrion were a dullard who had not heard him the first time.
ElianaHOST
Jaime had once told him that Mor was the most dangerous of the Kingsguard, accepting himself always because his face gave no hint as to what he might do next.
ElianaHOST
Tyrion would have welcomed a hint.
RonnieHOST
I don't know how much I will personally reenact, but let's go through some of these.
RonnieHOST
Cersei is screaming and ordering the entire Kingsguard into the room to simultaneously try to stab the spider.
RonnieHOST
They will try to explain to her that this is not a brilliant idea, that there are better ways of handling this.
RonnieHOST
She will not accept them.
speaker_2NARRATOR
All across the capital, over a hundred knights and men-at-arms, plus several hundred gold cloaks, rush into the Red Keep, warming the castle as the royal family slumbers.
speaker_2NARRATOR
Half of the Kingsguard follow Robert's league, as Sir Mandan, Barristan, and Ares follow him, but the rest remain loyal to the Lannisters.
speaker_2NARRATOR
Fighting is fiercest in the Lower Bailey, as amidst the chaos, Sir Jaime tries to escort Cersei and Joffrey to safety.
speaker_2NARRATOR
However, they are intercepted by Ser Barristan and half a dozen elite knights.
18 MINS LATER
speaker_2NARRATOR
Suddenly, these terms become much harsher, as Tywin must now consider the very survival of his house.
speaker_2NARRATOR
John watches Tywin lower his eyes and knows the realm has changed forever and accepts the terms.
speaker_2NARRATOR
With that, John is offered a place in Robert's Kingsguard.
speaker_2NARRATOR
However, Ned privately speaks to Robert after the battle and explains everything regarding his birth.

That's B-O-M-B-A-S dot com and use code audio.
Lady GwynhyfvarHOST
In the songs, the white knights of the Kingsguard were ever noble, valiant, and true, and yet King Aerys had been murdered by one of them, the handsome boy they now called the Kingslayer, and a second, Ser Barristan the Bold, had gone over to the usurper.
Lady GwynhyfvarHOST
She wondered if all men were as false in the Seven Kingdoms.
Lady GwynhyfvarHOST
When her son sat the Iron Throne, she would see that he had blood riders of his own to protect him against treachery in his Kingsguard.
YolkboyHOST
When the khalasar arrives at Vaes Dothrak, Dany is confused as to why the Dothraki city needs a giant gate composed of two bronze stallions.
YolkboyHOST
The city has no walls and the area is unfortified and open.
RobertHOST
All of which actually only led to King Aerys growing more suspicious of Tywin.
RobertHOST
Had he really been willing to risk his king's death? Did he have a secret agreement that Rhaegar should inherit? So when Tywin tried to marry his heir Jaime to Lysa Tully, Aerys jumped in and made Jaime a member of the Kingsguard, out of spite.
RobertHOST
Now Tywin would have to make his hated son Tyrion heir.
RobertHOST
Of course, Jaime and Cersei were also more than a bit behind this – Jaime being in the king's guard meant they would be closer.
RobertHOST
Grand Maester Pycelle was already there on the small council.
RobertHOST
He was a Tywin fanboy for sure.
RobertHOST
The Kingsguard needed new members, so Boris Blount and Merrin Trant were appointed, both Lannister loyalists, as well as Jaime staying.
RobertHOST
Lancel and Tyrek Lannister were appointed squires to the king, Ilyn Payne, a Lannister bannerman, was made king's justice, and so on.
Matt ElliottPANELIST
No one threatens his grace in the
speaker_2UNKNOWN
presence of the Kingsguard.
speaker_2UNKNOWN
I'm not threatening the king, sir.
speaker_2UNKNOWN
I am educating my nephew.
speaker_0NARRATOR
He stands by the battlements and raises a hand for silence.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Behind him, the Kingsguard stand ready.
JoffreyVOICE_ACTOR
Attention, all of you.
JoffreyVOICE_ACTOR
I understand your frustration, but these taxes are for the good of the realm.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Their response is to rain curses down on the king.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Some even throw bits of food at him.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Though all of them fall short of reaching the walls, Joffrey's anger flashes, and he nods to his Kingsguard.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Moments later, the portcullis rises, and a wedge of armored knights comes rushing out.
NavHOST
Because it's Cersei's only chance.
NavHOST
So he's like, we don't know, but, you know, he's Kingsguard now and Qyburn vouches for him.
NavHOST
And we need him to win because if Cersei is proven guilty of these treasons, the legitimacy of her children will be called into question.
NavHOST
And if Tommen is no longer, if Tommen ceases to be a king, Margaery will cease to be a queen.
11 MINS LATER
NavHOST
Yeah.
NavHOST
So Kevin goes to Maker's Hold fast.
NavHOST
Only four Kingsguard are left in King's Landing.
HarmatHOST
That's so embarrassing.
